A must visit if you’re in the area. We camped near New Quay recently and visited three times during our two week stay. The farm shop is compact but well worth a browse. We discovered delicious local cheese, Welsh cakes of multiple varieties, and the most delicious locally distilled rum — incredibly smooth and not spiced! It seemed rude not to take advantage of the restaurant during these three visits. The food is delicious. I especially liked the design your own sandwich options, and I can also recommend the burgers and the delicious coffee. Had we been there for dinner, I would definitely have tried a steak. Portion sizes were generous, and whilst some vegetarian options were likely available—I didn’t really notice—as the name suggests, this is a venue that is focused on meat. All the staff we interacted with were fab: friendly, chatty, and full of local knowledge. We were especially charmed by the lady running the shop on our second visit, who offered to let us sample the rum, which was instrumental in us buying an extra bottle. A great local business, highly recommended, and I haven’t even mentioned the “mootel”, which looked charming, the camp site (we camped elsewhere), and the children’s play centre. Pop in if you’re passing. You won’t be disappointed.

The staff are lovely here every time we have been here, the environment is also homely and welcoming. We have eaten here many times and it has always been good quality and delicious food. We had afternoon tea today (for the first time). The scones with jam and cream, vol au vents, and the chocolate truffles were my favourite out of everything we had today !! Although, I do have a few notes about what could have been better. The cheese and tomato sandwich had quite obviously pregrated cheese, I was a bit disappointed about this, seeing as there is a farm shop in the same building as the restaurant. The pre-grated cheese made eating the sandwich very messy and the taste of the cheese wasnt the best. Additionally, we were given a cheese and tomato vol au vent instead of the prawn one (one of us ordered the standard afternoon tea, which was supposed to have a prawn one); the spinach and ricotta rolls that were listed on the website, were not provided with the afternoon tea either.

Visited very recently with our car club. Had arranged with the venue beforehand that we were just stopping for a short morning coffee break. They offered us the upstairs function room which was absolutely perfect so our group of 30 could stay together. The service and hospitality offered by all the staff was absolutely top notch. Everyone commented on how much they enjoyed the venue and surroundings. We will definitely return soon. 5* service.Thank you.
